It has some benefits because it exposes interfaces to the app to other software, allowing for external analytics tools to interact with the application.
It allows you to make a suite of applications that "talk" together. Usage depends on the use case. I remember a farm management software designed that way and it was really cool, with 7 applications interacting very smoothly -
@QCat that actually seems like it might fix a lot of problems we currently have. Well more annoyances, but still.

@projektaquarius go for it and use C# web services, they are used like libraries which is a very good thing, have good performance, and truly behave just like libraries
So. Question: is service-oriented architecture a web/network "thing" or would it take actually be of some benefit to an installed app?
I ask because we build on a framework that, for the most part, has pretty good interfaces and is specific on how things need to be implemented in order to work. However there are (g)rumblings within sad frameworks working group that they are going to switch over to "Service-oriented Architecture" which to me just sound buzzwordy. We are an installed desktop app.
